Micro Movie Challenge
Are You Ready for the 3-Day
Micro Movie Challenge?
(NOTHING To Do With Feature-Length Frustration, Endless Drafts, Or Scripts that Never Get Read)
Long-form storytelling is hard.
Hard to write. Even harder to sell and get made.
But shorts are a powerful mode of expression because they're a showcase of what's possible in longer-form material.
And the 1-page Micro Movie is a badass way to go because it's so focused and easy to land.
EVERYBODY has time to check out your 1-page screenplay.
(And this leads directly into our next training: MICRO MOVIE - Make it with AI)
But why one page?
Because almost everything you need to learn about pagecraft—structure, rhythm, voice—can be revealed in a single page.
Brevity sculpts your power.
One page.
One full story.
Beginning, middle, end.
A hero, a goal, a conflict.
And your unique voice, screaming on the page.
What we'll cover:
Day 1 (Oct. 8) – Ideation, Big Picture & Ideal Viewer
• Brainstorm the kind of ideas that work as 60-second micromovies (and spot the ones that don’t).
• Explore how to adapt a scene from your screenplay—or spark something brand new.
• Identify your Ideal Viewer to laser-focus your impact on the right audience.
Day 2 (Oct. 9) – Structure & Story Choices
• Outline and sketch the rough draft of your idea.
• Nail the spine: beginning, middle, end.
• Make the hero-goal-conflict crystal clear so your story lands as a complete experience.
Day 3 (Oct. 10) – Voice & Flow
• Refine word choices, phrasing, and rhythm so your writing feels SOOO you.
• Practice live reads in breakout rooms—feel how it plays aloud.
Follow-Up Sessions AND Live Readings
• For two weeks after the 3-day sprint, we’ll gather again for one-minute live reads of your micromovies.
• Hear your story performed. Hear others’ stories. Feel the energy of brevity and focus. Bring your popcorn and Milk Duds!

Eugene Suh, Screenwriter
"After reading Brooks' book, watching his videos, and having a conversation with him, I can truly say that it's not since Robert McKee that I've seen a combination of (very useful) actionable knowledge, plus deep, important knowledge, combined with the ability to present it in an engaging way that makes perfect sense immediately. Highly recommended."
Beverley Wood, Screenwriter
"Brooks gave me some practical advice for growing my career in screenwriting and offered some smaller workshops which I look forward to. The best part, though, is that Brooks is simply easy to talk to."
